Nice review and very sorry to hear about your sciatica! Good thing ur wife is capable of driving a manual as well.
One thing about the manual since it may not shift as fast as the auto bit when you hit the next gear after a 4-5k rpm pull.. it's a definite whiplash!!
Puts a smile on my face EVERYTIME. 6th Gen is amazing!
Hopefully your leg gets better and you are able to drive it more
